Step Pyramid Description
1mi/1.5km to the southeast is a low mound of rubble marking the site of a stone Step Pyramid which is ascribed to King Khaba (Third Dynasty). The exterior was apparently completed, with five steps and a base measurement of 272ft/83m, but the interior was left unfinished. In an early tomb in the immediate vicinity was found a seal impression with the name of the Pre-Dynastic or Early Dynastic King Narmer, whose dates have not been precisely established.
